GIGABYTE has announced the availability of the Z890 AORUS ELITE DUO X and Z890M FORCE DUO X WIFI7 as part of the previously announced GIGABYTE Z890 PLUS Series motherboards featuring CQDIMM support. Headlined by the Z890 AORUS ELITE DUO X, the new lineup introduces enhanced memory capabilities, simplified performance tuning, and a refined feature set inspired by previous flagship platforms.
The GIGABYTE Z890 Plus series focuses on delivering next-generation performance through CQDIMM support, alongside GIGABYTEs D5 DUO X Technology and the new Ultra Turbo Mode. These enhancements aim to provide improved memory scalability, higher frequencies, and streamlined system optimisation for both mainstream and performance-focused users.
Ultra Turbo Mode Performance Boost
GIGABYTE introduces Ultra Turbo Mode across the Z890 Plus series, a BIOS-level feature designed to simplify system tuning. The feature enables CPU performance gains of up to 40 percent and allows DDR5 memory overclocking up to 10266 MT per second with a single click.
Multiple presets are available to suit different usage scenarios:
Intel Core Ultra 200S Plus Boost enabled by default for immediate gaming improvements
Turbo Mode optimises CPU core behaviour and memory performance for higher frame rates
Extreme Mode maximises system performance for demanding workloads
Enhanced Build Quality and User Experience
The GIGABYTE Z890 Plus series also brings improvements in durability and ease of use. A reinforced UD base plate enhances structural rigidity while helping to prevent installation damage. DriverBIOS includes a pre-installed Wi-Fi driver for immediate network access on first boot.
Additional user-friendly features include:
Rear EZ-Button for convenient system control and troubleshooting
EZ-DIY design elements for easier assembly and upgrades
Clean front-panel layout for improved aesthetics
Broad Compatibility and Availability
GIGABYTE is working closely with major memory partners including ADATA, TeamGroup, and V-color to ensure compatibility and accelerate adoption of CQDIMM modules. The GIGABYTE Z890 Plus series will be available in ELITE, EAGLE, and FORCE variants, catering to a wide range of users.
